College & Seminary Faculty


The materials in the Curricula section could work well for college classes, both those for Church & Community and for High School students.  Many other areas of Palestine Portal may be useful for faculty who want to introduce the subject of Israel/Palestine in their classrooms. Following are some suggestions, but we recommend exploring further in the Learn & Teach area of the website.

Israel/Palestine: The Basics –
History
Maps
International Law
The Peace Process
As the heading suggests, these materials address basic information that we need in order to understand what is happening today in the Holy Land and how we arrived at the current situation. We have simple introductory materials as well as more in-depth resources for those who want to dig deeper.

Key Issues:
The Occupation
Ending the Israeli occupation has taken front and center in church-based advocacy. Learn how it started and the massive colonialist enterprise it has become today.

The Settlements
The central feature of the Israeli occupation, from which flow so many other justice issues, the settlements are required knowledge for those who want to understand what is happening in the Holy Land.
